Bog Roll ::

Flash Gordon Savour of the World wants us to borrow and spend our way out of the debt created problems that the UK is currently in. I've done my best to avoid spending, waiting for the much predicted "deflation" to kick in and send prices into a downward spiral to oblivion - so far I've not noticed only inflation in the things that matter and some mild disflation in tat and other non-essentials.

My antique Dell notebook really is reaching the end of it's useful life, 10 years is good going for a Dell. I don't need a full sized notebook really - I never did in the first place, but a netbook may come in handy. The Acer One is a nice device and Amazon are flogging them for £170, which isn't bad - it's better than the £225 that CeX are selling second hand units for in town.

So far I don't see much discounting in the stuff I want, just trivial tat that people could easily live without. I'll probably hold on as long as I can, no point in throwing money away if there is a real bargain to be had..!
